This is one of my favorite plants in #Colorado. Gentiana algida (Arctic Gentian). It has an interesting holarctic distribution, including populations spanning Northern Asia and Alaska, with the Rocky Mountains being disjunct from the rest. In the Colorado Rockies, it grows at high elevation (10,000-14,000ft). I see it flowering every year in late Summer in sub-alpine meadows and alpine tundra ecosystems. #Bloomscrolling #Photography #Nature #Botany #Plants #Hiking #Alpine #RockyMountains
